The Foreign Ministry of Armenia released a statement on the Azerbaijani provocation in the Lachin Corridor where the only road linking Nagorno Karabakh with Armenia is blocked by Azerbaijanis since December 12.
Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan convened an emergency meeting of the Security Council.
The people of Artsakh have been under blocade for 24 hours now, cut off from communication with the outside world. The Azerbaijanis closed the Stepanakert-Goris road, which is the only way connecting Artsakh with outside world.
The Parliament of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) released a statement addressing the international community to prevent the humanitarian disaster facing the people of Artsakh.

On the night of November 16, Armen Ashotyan, the vice-chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), was blocked from leaving Armenia. During the passport check at the Zvartnots airport, the decision to ban Ashotyan was explained by the fact that he was accused in some case, while the RPA vice-president claims that he was not charged with any case at that moment.
“In other words, it is clear that a political decision was initially taken to not allow me to exit the country, after which they fabricated and attached certain documents under that decision,” Armen Ashotyan concluded.
During the previous four and a half years, democracy in Armenia has undergone consistent and methodical degradation. Nikol Pashinyan, who came to power in a democratic way with a revolutionary, i.e., at least one-faced perception, has become an authoritarian leader with all the characteristic features over the years. First of all, he implemented all the steps for which he had been criticizing the previous authorities for decades, and largely due to that he came to power.
